Physicians are not reimbursed as much as they should be for services provided to Medicare patients.
The current reimbursement rates for physicians who treat Medicare patients are woefully inadequate. In many cases, these rates fail to cover the cost of providing care, forcing physicians to either absorb the loss or pass the costs on to their patients. This is not only unfair to physicians, but it also puts a strain on the already overburdened healthcare system. The government needs to increase reimbursement rates so that physicians can continue to provide quality care to Medicare patients. Without this essential change, many physicians will be forced to stop accepting Medicare patients, leaving millions of Americans without access to quality medical care.

This includes filling out claim forms, getting pre-authorization from insurers, and submitting documentation of services rendered.

In some cases, physicians may hire staff specifically to handle billing and insurance matters. Even with help, it can be a challenge to keep up with the ever-changing rules and regulations. As a result, many physicians feel that the reimbursement system is unnecessarily complex and time-consuming.
